Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

Pretty blatant, also considering the field of interest. This particular account is on the verge of being blocked, so editing with the other account could prolong the user's activity on Wikipedia Lone-078 (talk) 15:27, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
Editing the same pages in the same ways as Stefanantonius and their confirmed socks AncientEgyptCharacters, and Pinenedjemi, mostly adding images to Meritamen Special:Diff/1178114979/1181203691. On Commons this account has reuploaded three of the same copyvio images that were originally uploaded by Stefanantonius which seems like too much of a coincidence:
 * File:Meritamun.jpg uploaded 1 October and reuploaded 21 October
 * File:Merytamen 1 (1).jpg uploaded 1 October and the same file reuploaded 21 October
 * QV68.png File:Nefertari QV68.png uploaded 1 October and reuploaded 21 October Merytat3n (talk) 03:59, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Added the same image (inserted as a url link) as main image to Tiye article as known sock Stefanantonius (uploaded to Commons as File:Queen tiye great royal wife.jpg, since deleted) did.


 * Kathleen782 is probably another sock. Edits the same niche pages in the same ways as AncientEgyptCharacters/ Stefanantonius and their other known socks. On Apollodorus the Sicilian they removed content that was added by AncientEgyptCharacters and Mentuherkhepeshef (not a confirmed sock but they edit exactly the same way).

On Commons, they uploaded the same image (File:Chantress of Amun coffin.jpg) from the same stock photo website (123rf) as Stefanantonius (uploaded as File:Tanetreti-Scherit.jpg). They also uploaded File:King Amenhotep III and queen Tiye.jpg, which is a very similar image of the same scene from the same tomb (File:Queen tiye.jpg, now deleted) uploaded by Stefanantonius. Kathleen782 behaves the same way on Commons as Stefanantonius and their confirmed socks, adding many images that they claim as their own work but are instead sourced from various websites online that lack permitted Commons licenses.

 * is editing out of an IP that AncientEgyptCharacters has not used, but it geolocated to the same city as the IPs that they have used before, so we're probably in territory. I do see the following unblocked accounts, which are ✅ to AncientEgyptCharacters:

 * , after you've disposed of the report, you should close it unless there's something else that needs to be done. I noticed you did this on another report, so someone else closed it, as I am doing. :-) Bbb23 (talk) 14:55, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
